I have a post paid connection from Vodafone and wanted to use their Rs.98 plan 2GB vodafone mobile connect plan on my iPhone 3GS ( ios 5.0.1). When i called vodafone customer care they told me that Rs.98 plan can not be used for iPhone, we have to subscribe Rs.199 GPRS 2G (with 3GB) iphone plan to get the internet on iphone. But still i went for Rs98 plan and told vodafone CC that I will use this plan with Nokia mobile handset.

So I started searching the internet to know how I can use vodafone India Rs98 GPRS plan on my iphone?

After lot of search I came to about two simplest way to to that. Here are the 2 easiest options to setup and configure vodafone india GPRS internet on iPhone:

Option1 : Use iPhone Configuration Utility to set the APN for internet access :

Step 1: Download this utility from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1466 and install it. After installation open the application , connect your iPhone and click Configuration profiles. provide the basic information as showing on below image:

Step 2: On the Configuration profiles page scroll down to Advanced option and configure following

Access Point Name (APN) = portalnmmsAccess Point User Name = nilAccess Point Password = nilProxy Server and Port =10.10.1.100 and 9401

Step 3:Click on your phone name under Devices tab ,click on Configuration Profiles from right side of the page and click on Install button :Step 4:There will a pop showing on your iPhone , you need to confirm and click on Install button to install the profile on your iPhone.
